Making The Rounds
I like to shoot in this building. It's a challange. Not much light, lots of contrast, need for a lot of DOF. It was really a challange with the 4x5. I had to get the lines back parallel after pointing the camera down.
A little back tilt, a little swing and it all looked pretty good in the glass. At least, I'm pleased.
What did large format photographers do before apps? I used my DOF calculator to figure out where to focus. Then a reciprocity failure calculator (which even gives you a timer to use for the exposure!) because of the very long exposure. And no more making shooting notes in a little notebook...
Wista 45N w/Schneider-Kreuznach 150mm f/5.6
Delta 100 @ ISO 100
34.5 sec @ f/32.5
Rodinal 1:25, 9 mins, water stop, Ilford Rapid Fix, dry and scan
